Target options for MSDP replication

The following table describes the target options for replication to a NetBackup Media Server Deduplication Pool.

Table: MSDP target replication options

Option

Description

Target master server

All trusted master servers are in the drop-down list.

Select the master server for the target domain to which you want to replicate backups.

To add the master server of another domain as a trusted master, select Add a new Trusted Master Server. Configuring a trust relationship is required only if you want to choose a specific target for replication.

Target storage server type

If a trusted master server is configured, the value is Target storage server name.

If a trusted master server is not configured, the value is PureDisk.

Target storage server name

Select the CloudCatalyst storage server name only from the drop-down list of the trusted master server.

If a trusted master server is configured, select the target storage server. If a trusted master server is not configured, enter the name of the target storage server.

The drop-down list shows all the storage servers that match the Target storage server type.

User name

When you configure a replication target, NetBackup populates the User name field with user account of the target storage server, as follows:

  • For an MSDP target, the NetBackup Deduplication Engine user name.

  • For a PureDisk storage target, the PureDisk Storage Pool Authority user name.

    NetBackup supports PureDisk Deduplication Pool storage on NetBackup 5000 series appliances only.

  • For a CloudCatalyst storage server target, the Access Key ID of the cloud account.

Note:

For CloudCatalyst storage server configured using AWS IAM Role or credential broker type (CREDS_CAP), provide the credentials you had entered when configuring the CloudCatalyst storage server.

See Managing CloudCatalyst storage server with IAM Role or CREDS_CAPS credential broker type.

Password

Enter the password for the NetBackup Deduplication Engine, or enter the secret access key for the CloudCatalyst storage server.

Note:

For CloudCatalyst storage server configured using AWS IAM Role or credential broker type (CREDS_CAP), provide the credentials you had entered when configuring the CloudCatalyst storage server.

See Managing CloudCatalyst storage server with IAM Role or CREDS_CAPS credential broker type.
